Patriotic Greeting Card

I know it’s not even close to Fourth of July but I couldn’t wait to use the Banner Blast stamp set to create this quick and easy patriotic greeting card! I regularly donate supplies to a friend (hi Cindy!) who creates cards for Operation Write Home and I think this would be a great card for those in the military.

Those cute little banners are from the Banner Blast stamp set and are punched with the coordinating Banner Punch – both items can be earned for free during Sale-a-bration which ends March 31st. During Sale-a-bration, you can choose a free item from the Sale-a-bration Brochure with every $50 worth of product ordered. Each of the punched banners are popped up with a Dimensional as well as the greeting. The greeting for this patriotic greeting card is from a hostess set called Express Yourself and is die-cut with the Bitty Banner Framelit (I trimmed the left side with scissors so it’s straight and not notched like the right side).

Here’s the list of Stampin’ Up! supplies:

Stamps:Hardwood, Banner Blast, Express Yourself

Ink: Midnight Muse, Real Red

Paper: Midnight Muse, Whisper White

Accessories: Banner Punch, Bitty Banner Framelits, Dimensionals

Remember that you can order Stampin’ Up! supplies online by clicking the “Order Online” link to the right or I can place your order for you. Don’t miss out on the Sale-a-bration promotion! Make sure to get your order in before the end of March. The Banner Blast stamp set and punch are two of the most popular Sale-a-bration choices from my customers so far too 🙂

I’m sending this card to a family friend, Steve Mix, who served in the military and recently published his first book, Goodbye From The Edge of Never. I’m reading it now and am having a hard time putting it down! Our family has known Steve since he was a teacher to my oldest son (about 15 years ago) when he attended Morgan Autism Center. We all loved him as a teacher then and now consider Steve a good friend 🙂

I hope you enjoyed this project and will be inspired to create your own patriotic greeting card to send to someone that has served or is currently serving in the military!
